Doping brought out the worst in him. I suspect someone as shitty as him would have found an outlet for that sh1t at some stage in any career.

+1. Saw it last year. For me, nothing can excuse his viciousness towards Emma O' Reilly, David Walsh (taunted about the death of his son John), and pretty much anyone who ever slighted him. There was no way he was riding clean in his comeback. As for the idea that he could have ridden clean and won TdF…nope, would never have happened. His pre-doping physiology was wrong for climbing.

And Greg LeMond, and one of his Team mates and Mrs - was that Emma ? I wouldn't wee on him if he was on fire.

Frankie Andreu, and his Mrs, the admirably fierce Betsy.

That's it - shocking how he treated them. Betsy, that's it. And then he went after Greg the Legend !

I may have to watch it with a plexiglass screen in front of the TV.

Its surprisingly unjudgemental... which is what lures you in. His 'confession' still doesn't redeem him, but it leaves the question, does he deserve to be forgiven?

Cheating is one thing. I'll accept that.
But attempting to destroy other folks lives is not acceptable, for what is 'riding a bike'.

I was just watching a video on YouTube of a child at a zoo. She was standing in front of a thick sheet of glass separating her from the lion enclosure, and facing the person with the camera. A lioness crept up to the glass behind her. The look in the eyes of the animal reminded me of the cold, dead eyes of Armstrong!I may give it a go....
Well worth it! I even stayed up until daft-o-clock to watch part 2. Bit of a classic really, reminded me of 'Senna'.. you just can't stop watching it
I agree, I watched part one late last night, it was very good.

Yes, he bit off more then he could chew when he took Betsy Andrieu on, his treatment of his former soigneur, Emma O'Riley was deplorable
as was his treatment of David Walsh who sussed Lance out too, as for for trying to bankrupt Greg LeMond, that's on a par with stealing a tradesman's tools & van, the doping I get, the vicious way he persecuted those who could topple him was off the scale, then when he chased Fillipo Simeoni down in the breakaway, whilst wearing the yellow jersey was unbelievable, made all the more so by their "discussion"
then Simeoni went back to the peloton with Lance, who in true psychopath style made the zipping up his mouth sign whilst staring straight into the camera, it was seen across the world, and meant only one thing , shut up, or get out, he then had the whole peloton bully Simeoni out of racing for good.
